Congressman Dan Benishek Discusses VA Crisis

Marquette, MI – (Great Lakes Radio News) – Congressman Dan Benishek of Michigan’s 1st District in the U.S. House of Representatives and former physician at the VA facility in Iron Mountain is weighing in on the current national crisis facing the Veteran’s Administration.

Congressman Benishek called in today to the SUNNY Morning Show to share his thoughts and opinions on the issue that he is referring to as a “brouhaha”.

Benishek said he is glad the matter has gained national attention because the matter has come before the VA Committee he serves on in Washington, D.C. before but has not garnered any media attention.

He said the agency must be held accountable for it’s actions and there needs to be further investigation into the various allegations put forth against specific VA clinics around the county and the rest of the national agency.

Benishek said he is also in favor of the current head of the VA to resign and step down in light of the recent allegations that have come to light.
